Week of November 14, 2022
THE SPRING 2023 SEMESTER IS FREE AT CAÑADA COLLEGE!
For the Spring Semester, Cañada College will waive enrollment fees for students who reside in San Mateo County (some exceptions apply). There are no minimum or maximum units required to qualify.
Depending on documented financial need, students may also be exempted from paying the student body fee, student representation fee, student union fee, inclusive access fee(s), and materials fees associated with enrolled courses. Registration is open to all students on Wednesday, November 16.
To help students determine if they qualify for the Free College enrollment fee waiver and other fee waivers, visit our Free College FAQ.
VACCINATION REQUIREMENT SUSPENDED
On October 26, 2022, the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees suspended the COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement (Board Policy 2.90 ), effective immediately. The District no longer requires COVID-19 vaccination attestation or medical/religious exemptions for any individual. Students may now register for in-person courses and access in-person services at Cañada College regardless of vaccination status.
SMCCCD recommends staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters, regardless of risk factors. To schedule an appointment, visit myturn.ca.gov. For additional information, visit the Return to Campus site.
CAMPUS SHUTTLE
The Cañada College shuttle will run direct service Monday-Friday to/from Cañada and East Palo Alto beginning August 17, 2022, through December 16, 2022. Visit canadacollege.edu/shuttle for the latest schedule updates.
LIBRARY NEWSLETTER
Therapy Dogs are back! The pups are trained to help relieve stress, get pets and look cute. They aren’t as fluffy, but Librarians are also available to help students with their research projects for finals (and any other time of year). November is Native American Heritage Month, stream documentaries about the traumatic history of Indian border schools, the revolutionary founding of the American Indian Movement in the 1960s, and the up to 10,000-year history of Native America.
